Thanks for stopping by my blog! These pictures are beautiful and relaxing! I love water,too. As you can see on my blog, we live by the water, too….a red muddy pond in Oklahoma, which is drying up because we are in a severe drought! 🙂 I hope we will become “Blog friends”. I will come back soon to see you! Glad to meet you!

Well aren’t you just the nicest lady ever?! I appreciate every single comment you left over at my blog:) Very sweet of you and I wanted to tell you, before I get to exploring too much more, that I love what you named this blog – “These Days of Mine” …perfect!

Hi Dianna,
We met at the McDonald’s Garden Market at Peninsula Town Center earlier this week. I really enjoyed your blog. We have more in common than just plants! Hope to see you again some time.

Hi Diana,
Thank you for stopping by my blog, reading and commenting on my story about “Our Marshmellow”. It is a pleasure to meet you, as well. I look forward to returning and reading your blog entries and seeing Sundae’s creative touches.
Toodles,

Thank you for visiting my blog, and for your thoughtful and kind comments.

I’m intrigued by some of the things you shared here. I love Virginia, love the history of that area, and have some other things in common with you too. I enjoy stamping, simple gardening, and obviously, blogging. Fun to find a kindred spirit out there! Oh, and another thing we share, I enjoy reading MJ’s blog also. I look forward to getting acquainted! ~ Sheila

Your blog posts are truly charming Dianna! I’m “following” now. Love the photographs and you are so lucky to live on the water. We are landlocked in a small town north of Roanoke but enjoying mountain views and rolling hills.

I grew up in Virginia too. more the central western part of the state (aka Walton’s Mountain). I have lived in GA for over 25 years now though. I try to get to VA several times a year. My sister (and fellow blogger) lives on VA’s coast too!

HI Diane. I’ve enjoyed visiting your blog (saw your comment on Winsomebella). Just wanted to say what a spectacular sunset picture this is! I saw a comment about your photography so I’ll be dropping back in to see some more.

Hi Dianna, thank you so much for stopping by my Blog via Rumpydog. My husband and I lived at a local lake for 25 years and only moved into the city one year ago. I loved your sunset photo, I miss that. Sundae looks like a real sweetheart. We’ve actually been to Virginia (it’s pretty far from our home) and got engaged in Irvington while staying at the beautiful ‘Hope & Glory’ B&B. We also drove the Shenandoah Skyline Drive and thought it was so beautiful there.

How great to find a fellow Virginian and someone who can trace heritage back to Jamestown (but, yes, your family seems to have found the promised land several years before mine)! Soon thereafter, mine headed to Georgia and then Texas, and I’m the first in about 8 generations to work my way back “home”. Found your site from your note on Belle Grove Plantation and now look forward to everything you post!

Greetings from another Virginian (Mid-Virginia…above Richmond and below D.C). I posted a couple photos of my cats also (under the title ‘Low-tech computer screen blockers.)’ If your Sundae takes over writing every once in a while, then she must be as computer savvy as my cats. 😉 Gotta love ’em!

Diana, I love the photos you post! The word “Smithfield” just caught my eye on your old barns post (sad to see barns torn down). My childhood best friend owns a tack shop on South Church Street. It’s nice to see photos of the area!

Hello, I just stumbled across your blog on Facebook where you provided a link on “Abandoned in Virginia”. I, too, am in Virginia and am fascinated by old places…..living in a 1915 house myself. Love your photography!

Hello, I discovered your blog through Georgette. I am a Northern Virginia native. I’m so curious, so I have to ask. You mention you’ve known your husband for 40 years, but have been married for 11. Were you reunited “old flames?” I love stories of how couples get together. 🙂

Dear Dianna,
My name is John Mullan Warren and I recently began working with a professional genealogist named Wayne Andrews. Wayne has traced my paternal side back to Captain Thomas Warren(born June 30, 1624 in Ripple,Kent, England, died April 21, 1670) Surry, Virginia. The history is astounding. Smith’s Fort Plantation and the Rolfe-Warren House. I have just started this journey and look forward to the research and family members it brings with it. Please contact me at john.warren26@yahoo.com at your convenience so we can compare notes. I would certainly appreciate your input and hope that I might help you out with some new discoveries also. Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care! JW

Oh my goodness that cat you featured sleeping on a quilt looks exactly like my cat. They have all of the same spots and my cat sleeps like that too! If that cat was your’s please contact me. We found our cat in our backyard we weren’t planning on keeping it but it never left, so it is now a member of our family
